Suddenly seems to be a few different flavoured protein powders available in the UK. I have built up a little pile of samples so figured I would review them as I went.

First one this morning Good Hemp Nutrition, Fit Shake, Strawberry flavour.http://www.hempnatural.com/GOOD-Fit-Sha ... wberry.phpI was hoping for a tasty shake, unfortunately the hempyness is not masked by the strawberry flavour or sweetness. I mixed it will soya milk and it was certainly drinkable but not up to tasting like a milkshake or something you would want to drink. For taste I would give it 4/10. Nutrition wise its solid basic shake, not really big enough to be called a meal replacement more a snack replacement. Protein is only 10g so probably targeted at more endurance market. Cost works out to roughly 90p a serving.

Cons - tastes like shit (usually I'm a staunch defender of pea protein but their latest batch is truly offensive).

I think this can be an awesome thread, maybe we should have a basic review template? Personally I think the cost per a serving is a very important factor, specially if I am nailing 3 a day. What other things are important to people? Grams of protein per serving and taste?

Name: Ignite Ultra-V MintChoc FlavourTaste: Nice taste, more mint that chocolate. I had it with water and it was very drinkable nearly a pleasant taste. With soya milk I think it would be even better.Website:http://www.natures-whey.co.uk/product/i ... chocolate/Protein Grams per serving: 40gCost per serving: £1.35 (£50 for 37 servings)Comments: Really nice shake and the supplements in it are also good (creatine, beta alanine, taurine) so you would not need anything else. It's just so expensive, I would find it hard to justify (3 shakes a day would cost £120 a month).

Comments: This is what I have used for the past few years. It's expensive where I buy it locally. There are other rice proteins I have found online, which are cheaper and a slightly different formula, which actually taste ok. So with rice protein, you can either have this one, which has an almost smooth texture, but tastes like dirt, or you can have one that has the texture of sand and tastes ok.

Name: Soy Protein Isolate Strawberry creamTaste: kind of nesquick like artificial strawberry, not much of a nasty after taste.

I sometimes mix it 50/50 with pea protein, which makes it cheaper per serving and probably improves the amino acid profile.

This is awesome. Thanks for showing this. There are sachet versions available - 2 for 4 pounds, or 14 for 14 pounds. However they add on a lot for shipping making it nearly 20 for the 14, (but the 2, shipping is free).
